I've got this picture I took last night, I like it a lot, but I'm not sure where to take it PP wise. I like how the end of the pier is silhouetted but I don't like it when I make the rest of the pier the same. Anyone want to take a crack at this shot? PM me your email address and I'll send you the raw file if you want it.

Also feel free to give me any tips, pointers, advice, things to try next time, and anything else relevant to this type of photography.

Looks good to me. You might try cropping a little off the right to get the structure at the end off center.

I think you nailed it! As Joedlh said,a little crop on the right to get rid of some empty sky might be all that I would do to it.

I would second that suggestion. Great shot. I like the moody feel.

That is a great photo as it is. Why mess with perfection?

Thanks for all the kind words everyone. I took the advice of the people who suggested cropping in a little to put the end of the pier off center. So how does this look? Crop more, keep as is, or go back to the original?
